Oak is a type of tree that can be found in the Meadows. It is characterized by its wide trunk and large crown. A Bronze Axe or better is required to damage it.

Oak trees produce wood and Fine Wood when destroyed. The yield of each type of wood appears to be random, however, a tree will always drop 50 pieces of wood total.

It is possible to damage Oak trees by intentionally hitting them with falling Beech trees, or rolling fallen Beech trees into it. If enough damage is done by falling trees, the oak tree will be brought down. The trunk can then be rolled downslope (ideally) and repeatedly smashed into obstacles until it shatters into usable lumber. Oak trees can also be destroyed by a Troll. These methods allow players to acquire Fine Wood before being able to craft a Bronze Axe.

Notes[]

  • Because they will always net you 50 wood, as well as dropping both fine and regular wood, Oak trees are one of the best sources of wood in the game and should not be overlooked.
